MHCLG looking for DDaT professionals for a new Birmingham HQ
MHCLG Digital Jobs
The Digital Directorate in MHCLG is still less than three years old but things are going from strength to strength. As Chief Digital Officer, I am particularly proud of what we’ve achieved in this time:
we are the highest rated digital function in government, as voted for by senior managers in our departments, and the most improved for the second year running last year our Local Digital Collaboration Unit team won the Apolitical Global Public Service Team of the Year award our office technology helped the department to adjust to new ways of working during the pandemic we recently shipped new modern digital services, such as the Energy Performance Certificates service, and have improved internal corporate processes for our emergencies and resilience team to battle COVID-19What’s more, important strategic policy in the department such as planning reforms are being designed on solid data and digital foundations.
Now a new chapter in the department’s digital function is opening up and we are excited to announce we are recruiting for roles in MHCLG’s new Birmingham HQ.
Right now many of us are continuing to work from home where we can, but a new hybrid working environment beckons, and like many others in government we are keen to attract digital and technology talent from a wider pool across the UK.
Our local government digital work means we get out and about perhaps more than most across the country during ‘normal’ times, and a fair number of us have home locations well outside the capital. We are no strangers to Birmingham and the West Midlands in particular, but this is the first time we have actively recruited outside London for core digital roles, and we are excited about building a new set of teams here.
